The Strokes Music Gig

I love The Strokes! Although I have yet to see them live, they are definitely top on my list.

The Strokes are an American rock band who formed in 1988 in  New York City. This band have achieved many great things and were even labeled "the most prominent rock bands to emerge in the 21st Century."

The Strokes released their debut album "Is This It," back in 2001 and have just recently released their fourth album "Angles."

Bands similar to The Strokes include Albert Hammond JR, Arctic Monkeys, and Vampire Weekend. Some of The Strokes most popular tracks include "Last Nite," "Reptilia," and "Is This It."

Although I have not personally seen The Strokes live, they have received many great reviews. I will add however that theirs gigs are not for the feint hearted. Expect mosh pits, sweat, and a lot of die hard rock fans. But hey this only adds to the atmosphere so don't be deterred.
